This is a closed/secret group for everyone who is going to have bypass surgery in February 2016!

We would LOVE to have you join in wit us! Just go to Facebook and search my name LaNae Davis Petersen, send me a friend request. I can then send you an invite to secret page and then I'll remove you back off my friends list 

It's meant to be a positive group who we can all be going through the same things at the same tim on this journey! The goals will be to provide support, bounce questions off each other, have somewhere safe to share on the days that aren't so great, and share our victories on this journey!

MOST importantly it's all confidential, unless you are in this group people can't see the group, who's in it or what the posts are.

I tried could not find you. Please find me. Sandra Joy

Mine didn't say but when I had my knee surgery a couple of years ago, they said the same thing. I never knew why but someone on here explained that it is because they use your nails to check circulation or blood flow or something. You know how your nail beds can get completely white if there's no blood flow (you press them down for a long period or something like that) but when there's blood flow they are nice and pink? That's why. I guess it's one of the things they check...heartbeat..pulse...nail beds lol.

I got a mani pedi with no nail polish. So weird. The nail techs were like "you sure, you sure?" Like i was crazy lol

@@mommamissy They told me to be there at 7:30am and I have mo idea what time I'll actually be operated on. My stay is three days. I'll go home on Wed.

So....finally woke up today WITHOUT a headache...cause it's a MIRACLE and started cleaning my house like a mofo...because, you know....I could die in surgery and I don't want anyone who comes to my funeral to see how I live....and then BOOM, got my period. FML

Lol!!!! Please don't let that be contagious lmao! I'm due any day now haha!!! I do not need that!!!!! That's so funny because I'm cleaning too!!! Cleaned my car out. Fridge is cleaned out. Kitchen cabinets. Everything in my bedroom is organized.

Gotta shave your legs too don't forget lol!!!!

LOL I did a complete shave, everywhere... I know nurses and Dr's privately talk.. didn't want that to be part of their convo. I also cleaned like crazy today. Washed my bed clothes and everything else.

Good luck to everyone tomorrow! I'm looking forward to hearing about everyone's experience in the next couple of days. I'm nervous because it sounds like everyone else is going to be in the hospital at least overnight to a couple of days and I'm only scheduled for day surgery.....

What kind of surgery are you having? For my sleeve I wasn't in the hospital 12 hours. For the bypass they are saying a day or two

I'm having the gastric sleeve.

This is beginning to feel surreal.
